The word, ‘Gay’
(in describing a human) used to mean that person was a happy person all the time.
Now it means something else,
simply because some people kept using that word for that, ’new’ meaning.
Same as
‘Plunger’, ‘Cute, ‘Bully, ‘Matrix’, ’Nice’, ‘Backlog’, ‘Fizzle’, and on and on and on.
In some cases a word has changed to the meaning of the direct opposite.
Think of words that are now, in the transition.
‘
Bad’. Used to mean a ‘thief’, ‘killer’, ‘lier’, no good at something.
Today, in many places ‘BAD’ is good.
Like (xxx person is) a ‘Bad’ actor.
a ‘Bad’ singer, a ‘Bad’ dancer.
Where the meaning is,
that person is a very good, actor/singer/dancer.
So it is with, ‘Racist’.
Mush for Brains, is Racist.Just as millions of other people are
racist,
for hiring the best person for a job.
For stating riots/looting/destruction is wrong.
For stating Illegals sneaking accost the border is wrong.
And for stating a opinion that is different.
People are changing the meaning of that word !
(Remember the word; Ain't)Why is it ‘racist’ for a white skin actor to portray a black skin person,
and it is NOT racist for a black skin actor to portray a white skin person?
Did/does, Aaron Burr, George Washington, Annie, Joy Behar, +, +, +, have black skin ?
